...striking scene wherein the elders display an ostrich morality, convinced that a scandal is buried if only a marriage takes place. But it rears its ugly head in another striking scene, when a fanatic Negro zealot arouses the primitive instincts of the phlegmatic Dutchmen by the simple process of beating a drum and thumping their theological frenzy. Louis Wolheim ("Hairy Ape") as the Negro handled that drum up to the climacteric hysteria like a Sousa of the soul. Ann Davis fills poignantly the repressed role of the girl, and Frank McGlynn ("Abraham Lincoln") and Kenneth MacKenna are two other stalwarts...
...Motor Co., filed in Massachusetts, is the admiration and despair of rival automobile manufacturers. The Ford statement is as of Feb. 29, 1924, and shows total assets of $568,101,639-consisting of $93 million real estate; $87 million machinery and equipment; $94 million merchandise, materials and stock in process; $271 million in cash, accounts receivable, etc.; and $20 million good will. The large cash item also includes securities, patent rights and trademarks.

...always a definite number of positive charges upon it, varying from one (hydrogen) to 92 (uranium). Outside the nucleus are the negative electrons, varying in number in the same way. The outermost layer of these are the valence electrons, which mingle with those of other atoms in the process of combination. So far as physical science has gone, there have appeared but two fundamental entities, positive and negative electrons?the building stones of the universe...
Electrons in the outer circles may be radiated out by falling from a higher potential energy to a lower, and the frequency of radiation is proportional to the energy loss in the process. This is the Einstein-Bohr law of radiation, which has been amply verified in the past five years. As to what the electrons are doing when they are not radiating, chemists and physicists on the whole hold divergent views. The chemist believes the electrons are at rest (what I call "the loafer theory"), but the physicist believes they are rotating in orbits at enormous speed. The chemist...
Although the new courts inside the track on Soldiers Field, which have been in the process of construction during the past few months are not ready as yet, indications are that they will be available soon. These courts will greatly enlarge tennis facilities in the University, which have been sorely taxed because of the popularity of this sport...
